ABSTRACTThe interaction of titanium thin films sputter-deposited onto single crystal silicon was studied by in situ heating experiments within the TEM. Reactions at the Ti-Si interface including amorphization, crystallization, allotropie phase transformations and agglomeration have been observed in real time and recorded on videotape. Interpretation of these recordings can yield a wealth of information on the silicidation process.

The formation of buried oxide structures in single crystal silicon by high-dose oxygen ion implantation has received considerable attention recently for applications in advanced electronic device fabrication. This process is performed in a vacuum, and under the proper implantation conditions results in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure with a top single crystal silicon layer on an amorphous silicon dioxide layer. The top Si layer has the same orientation as the silicon substrate. The quality of the outermost portion of the Si top layer is important in device fabrication since it either can be used directly to build devices, or epitaxial Si may be grown on this layer. Therefore, careful characterization of the results of the ion implantation process is essential.
